Frequently asked questions

Publinova is the national platform for open, practice-oriented research. On Publinova, we bring together the practice-oriented research of Dutch universities of applied sciences.

On Publinova, you will find research results, research projects, involved parties, and practice-oriented researchers. You can contact researchers and download open research products.

If you log in via EduID or SURFconext, you can follow parties, researchers, products, and projects and stay informed of changes.

As a researcher, you can log in and help build Publinova. Manage your profile, your products, and your projects, and make your research discoverable and shareable. You can find out how at https://over.publinova.nl/onderzoeker/.

Every week, we publish an article about practice-based research in the Netherlands, linked to the products, projects, parties, and people in Publinova. Contact the editorial staff if you have a suggestion for a topic for a practice-based research article.

Most of the information comes from the source systems of research output from Universities of Applied Sciences. These can be sources such as SURFsharekit, PURE, Greeni, or the university's website. Every 24 hours, we retrieve information from the institutions' source systems and combine it with other validated sources. We use standards as much as possible.

Publinova uses multiple sources that we combine. Information about a collaboration with another University of Applied Sciences may be stored, for example, about a project you are involved in.

Applied research often transcends Universities of Applied Sciences. By making smart combinations, we provide a complete picture of the products, projects, people, and stakeholders in open access practical research.

Publinova went live at the end of 2023 with a fragment of the products and projects. Since then, we've regularly connected new resource systems for universities of applied sciences. By the end of 2025, we'll have connected 80% of our Universities of Applied Sciences.

If a party is listed as "unknown," it has an unknown profile. These parties are often collaboration partners, NGOs, and business organizations linked to the products and projects on Publinova.

Publinova is free for visitors, researchers and professors. The platform is funded by the Dutch Universities of Applied Sciences and grants.

On Publinova, you will find the following information:

• Products: information and results from practice-oriented research that can be viewed and/or downloaded;
• Projects: projects that are in preparation, ongoing, or completed;
• People: profile pages with information about practice-oriented researchers (lecturers, teacher-researchers, etc.) and their expertise;
• Parties: Universities of Applied Sciences, research groups, Centres of Expertise, partners, partnerships, etc.;
• Editorial articles: stories of practice-oriented research on societal issues;

Click the "Log in" button in the top right corner of the homepage with your EduID or your SURFconext. If you don't have either, you can easily create an EduID using the same button.

There are several reasons why you're already on Publinova:

• The university of applied sciences where you are conducting or have conducted research is already connected to Publinova;
• You are (or have been) involved in a project whose source we have connected (including the SIA project database);
• You have logged in with your SURFconext account.

Publinova uses multiple resources. If you've worked at multiple Universities of Applied Sciences or have been involved in collaborative projects, you may appear multiple times. Unfortunately, based on the data we receive, we can't always be certain that one profile matches another. When you log in for the first time, you'll automatically go through the deduplication process. You can find out how to do this at any time at https://over.publinova.nl/onderzoeker/.

Follow these few steps to create a full profile over.publinova.nl/researcher.

Most parties already have their own landing page. If you don't, you can!

• A research group or department can be added manually by your university's support staff. Check your university's page to see who that is.
• We can add a Lecturer Platform or another consortium. Send an email to support@publinova.nl;

The Publinova editorial team actively seeks out stories of practice-based research. We consider developments in society and all professional fields. In our articles, we link to societal themes and the practice-based research being conducted. We are particularly interested in projects and research output that emphasize the added value of practice-based research.

If you have any topic suggestions, please feel free to contact us at redactie@publinova.nl.

We understand this can be frustrating. You can make your profile anonymous so you can no longer be found.
If you can't do that, log in and delete the information yourself. If that doesn't work, send an email to support@publinova.nl.
